COVID-19 Antigen

A Rapid POC Test

RAPID POC TEST

The CareStart™ COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of extracted nucleocapsid protein antigens specific to SARS-CoV-2 in swab specimens directly collected from symptomatic individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare providers.

As an intended point-of-care (POC) designated test with a 10 minute processing time, CareStart™ COVID-19 Antigen Test allows effective screening of COVID-19 infection on a large scale.


Features

  • Lateral flow assay
  • Rapid results in 10 minutes
  • Nasopharyngeal swab specimen collection
  • Intended at POC setting (i.e., inpatient care settings) by medical professionals operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation

Clinical Features

  • Detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen
  • Identify acute infection in symptomatic patients with 88.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity
  • Designated as a CLIA waived tests

Test Principles

Due to the highly contagious nature and global health crisis, SARS-CoV-2 has been designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) and continues to have devastating impacts on healthcare systems and the world economy including the U.S. To effectively end the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, systematic screening and detection of both clinical and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases is critical.
